1. The authority may provide financial assistance to an eligible business pursuant to section 15.111, subsection 2, paragraph “a”, subparagraph (8), if the authority and the board find such assistance necessary to facilitate the project’s successful completion, that the project has an extensive economic impact, or that financial assistance will incentivize an eligible business to choose an Iowa location, rather than an out-of-state location, for the project.

4. For purposes of this section, “financial assistance” means assistance provided exclusively from the funds, rights, and assets legally available to the authority pursuant to this chapter and includes but is not limited to assistance in the form of grants, loans, forgivable loans, and royalty payments.
